Sometimes the greatest obstacle isn't a lack of ability. It's the quiet belief that says, "Maybe I should stay in the background."In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I welcome online presence strategist Becky Hancock for a conversation that moves beyond branding and into something much deeper. Together we explore why so many women hesitate to use their voice, how fear of visibility affects both our lives and our businesses, and why stepping into greater visibility isn't about self-promotion. It's about faithfully stewarding the vision and influence God has entrusted to us. Drawing from nearly thirty years of experience in branding, graphic design, and web development, Becky shares practical wisdom about building an authentic online presence that reflects who you truly are. Whether you're building a business, leading quietly behind the scenes, or sensing God inviting you into a new season, this conversation is a reminder that your voice matters.In this episode, we discuss:• Why women often struggle to be seen and heard• The personal and professional cost of staying hidden• Building confidence without striving or self-promotion• Creating an authentic brand that reflects your values• Why understanding the people you serve matters more than simply having a beautiful website• Building a business that creates space for both purpose and joyConnect with Becky HancockWebsite: https://beckyhancock.designfinLinkedIn: Rebecca HancockBook a Conversation: https://bookwithbecky.meConnect with Donna at https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

What if confidence isn't something you need before you make the move? What if courage is actually how you build it?In this episode of Dream Makers, host Claire Byrt sits down on the couch with her 16-year-old daughter Laila for an unplanned, very real conversation about courage, fear, following your dreams, trusting your heart and letting your vision be bigger than your bullsh*t.Laila came armed with questions. What do people get wrong about courage? What's the biggest bullsh*t people believe about following their dreams? How do you know when you're making a decision from your heart instead of fear?And somewhere between wet hair, trackies, hot water, teenage wisdom and a few inevitable laughs, this little couch conversation gets into something that matters deeply for anyone trying to create a life, business or body of work that actually means something to them.We talk about why courage comes before confidence, why fear doesn't necessarily mean stop, the willingness to move without certainty, other people's opinions, resilience, self-trust and why you probably already know more about what you want than you think you do.And Laila shares what she's learned from pursuing her own vision as a dancer, including one of her favourite lessons from Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t - there will always be dickheads.This episode is also something else.A little time capsule. A mum and daughter on the couch creating something together.Because if you ever wanted to know what living the dream looks like for me, this is part of it: creating something with someone my heart beats for.Listen in. And if you love CB + Laila together, let me know. There might just need to be a part two.Topics include:Courage and confidence • fear vs intuition • following your dreams • self-trust • heart-led decisions • resilience • creativity • taking action without certainty • other people's opinions • letting your vision be bigger than your bullsh*tGET YOUR COPY HERE.

 Summary In this episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat, host Linda Mitchell speaks with Kim Costa about the importance of aligning one's home with their true self and the journey of personal reinvention. Kim shares her insights on how our living spaces reflect our emotional states and the signs that indicate a misalignment. They discuss the courage it takes to make significant life changes, especially for women who often find themselves settling into roles that don't fulfill them. The conversation emphasizes the need for honesty in understanding what we truly want from life and how our environments can either support or hinder our growth. Kim encourages listeners to take inventory of their lives and homes, advocating for intentional living and the belief that it's never too late to reinvent oneself.  Takeaways Living in your wheelhouse means knowing who you are. Your home reflects your emotional state and life transitions. Many people settle for lives that drain them due to societal expectations. It's important to push the pause button before making life decisions. Clutter in your home can block your energy and happiness. Reinvention is possible at any age; it's never too late to start over. Honesty with oneself is crucial for living authentically. Success is about creating a life that sparks joy and fulfillment. Your environment can significantly impact your mindset and habits.

Fear has a way of convincing us to wait until we feel more ready, more confident, or more certain. But what if the thoughts we repeat every day are quietly shaping the life we experience? In this short episode, I'm sharing 40 empowering affirmations to help us replace hesitation with courage, possibility, and trust. Whether you're starting a business, pursuing a dream, or simply stepping into a new season of life, these affirmations are designed to help you align with the person you're becoming. We'll also talk about why affirmations are more than positive thinking. They are intentional thoughts that can help rewire our subconscious mind, shift our energy, and strengthen our belief in what's possible. I'll share a simple way I like to use affirmations in everyday life and encourage you to choose the ones that resonate most deeply with you. I hope you'll save this episode and come back to it whenever you need a reminder of who you are and what's possible. Repetition creates familiarity, and familiar thoughts have the power to become lasting beliefs. "The thoughts we practice become the beliefs we live by, and the beliefs we live by shape the life we create."

How much of your life is on hold? How many times have you told yourself: "When I have more time..." "When I feel more confident..." "When I'm less busy..." "When I know exactly what to do..." "When I'm fully healed..." For many of us, waiting becomes a way of life. We wait for permission. We wait for certainty. We wait for fear to disappear. We wait for someone else to choose us before we choose ourselves. But what if the life you're longing for isn't waiting for perfect conditions? What if it's waiting for you? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the hidden ways we delay our own growth, happiness, and fulfillment while convincing ourselves we're simply being responsible or realistic. We talk about: waiting for the perfect time waiting for confidence before taking action the myth of being "fully healed" fear disguised as preparation choosing yourself even when you don't feel ready personal responsibility and co-creation why small steps create momentum the power of taking action before certainty arrives At some point, the question isn't whether you're ready. The question is whether you're willing. Because the future you're waiting for may require a decision that can only be made in this moment. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip.

Country music legend Willie Nelson has publicly called on Americans, especially those in rural communities, to oppose the rapid expansion of data centers, arguing that they threaten farmland, water resources, and the character of small towns. 11-year-old Ashton Meyer, who transformed a basic neighborhood chore into a thriving business. Despite initial fears of rejection, he built a growing customer base, gained more than 100,000 social media followers, and became an example of young entrepreneurship through persistence, hard work, and a willingness to knock on doors and ask for business.

What if the Bible isn't just a book to study, but a love story inviting you into a deeper relationship with God? In episode five of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio sits down with beloved Bible teacher and longtime friend Lisa Harper for an honest and hope-filled conversation about knowing the God of the Bible—not just knowing about Him. Lisa shares how God has patiently pursued her through seasons of doubt, disappointment, fear, failure, and loss, teaching her that true freedom isn't found in performing, pretending, or presenting a polished version of ourselves. It's found in believing that we are already fully loved by Jesus. Together, Shelley and Lisa talk about the difference between religion and relationship, the importance of knowing Scripture for ourselves, and how theology isn't just a subject to study. It's a conversation with a God who desires to be known. From Lisa's journey into public ministry to the story of adopting her daughter Missy, she shares how God redeems what feels irreparable and meets us with His kindness in the places we feel most broken. If you've ever felt like you have to clean yourself up before coming to God, this conversation is a reminder: Jesus is not a scowling Savior waiting for you to get it right. He is a loving Father inviting you closer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Bible says that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

You've felt it! That nudge. That whisper. The thing God keeps bringing back to your heart about starting something, building something, stepping into something bigger. And somehow you keep finding reasons to wait. Friend, so did Esther. In this episode we're pulling apart the story of Esther and uncovering the business lessons she didn't even know she was teaching. Because the same God who positioned an ordinary Jewish orphan girl in a palace for the most critical moment of her people's history? He positioned YOU. On purpose. For this season. For such a time as this. You'll discover why your hiding isn't really about strategy or timing or readiness — it's a fear problem dressed up in productivity clothes. You'll walk through the Esther Framework; three moves she made that translate directly into your calling, your business, and your next step. And you'll get a word-for-word prayer to help you finally stop circling the door and walk through it. God doesn't need your perfection. He needs your obedience. Esther didn't have a guarantee. She didn't feel ready. She just walked through the door and the king held out the scepter and welcomed her. He will welcome you too! I pray this episode lands deep in your spirit today and that it's the thing that finally moves you from the hallway into the room God prepared for you.    Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?

Message from Kevin Celestin on July 26, 2026

Episode Summary Judson and Janna Shoultz recount how a group of teenagers faced their fears and shared the gospel in mosques and other places of worship during a missions trip to Muslim communities in Michigan. Connecting their experiences with Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4, they show that God often waits for His people to obey before He opens the way. This Faith Talks episode challenges young people to recognize the specific step God has put before them and to trust Him enough to take it. Topics Discussed Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4 Teenagers sharing the gospel in mosques in Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan Developing a genuine burden for Muslims, Hindus, and others without the gospel Bringing the Bible into difficult gospel conversations The influence of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in a new believer's life Everyday steps of faith in witnessing, giving, prayer, and Christian obedience Key Takeaways Faith acts on God's direction before the circumstances change. God can use teenagers to speak biblical truth with courage, compassion, and clarity. Seeing spiritual darkness firsthand can deepen a believer's burden for lost people. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit equip believers for conversations that feel beyond them. A first step of obedience can become a defining moment that makes future steps easier. Faith does not merely talk about trusting God; faith walks into the water. If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

"현우야, 고마워.En: With a smile still on her face, Jisoo said, "Hyunwoo, thank you.Ko: 너는 이미 훌륭한 의사야."En: You are already a great doctor."Ko: 그 말은 현우에게 큰 위로가 되었습니다.En: Her words were a great comfort to Hyunwoo.Ko: 그는 자신의 기술에 대한 자신감을 찾았고, 친구에게 자신의 두려움과 꿈을 솔직하게 이야기했습니다.En: He found confidence in his skills and opened up to his friend about his fears and dreams.Ko: 어느새 현우는 자신을 더 믿게 되었고, 지수는 더 나은 상태로 회복할 수 있었습니다.En: Before long, Hyunwoo began to trust himself more, and Jisoo was able to recover to a better state.Ko: 병실에서 나오는 길에, 현우는 깨달았습니다. 때로는 두려움을 나누고, 자신의 연약함을 인정하는 것이 더 큰 힘이 될 수 있다는 것을.En: On his way out of the hospital room, Hyunwoo realized that sometimes, sharing fears and acknowledging one's vulnerabilities can be a source of greater strength.Ko: 그는 이제 곧 다가올 시험을 두려워하지 않았습니다.En: He no longer feared the upcoming exam.Ko: 그리고 그는 좋은 의사가 될 준비가 되어 있다고 느꼈습니다.En: And he knew he was ready to become a good doctor.

How much of your life are you living for...someone else?In this episode of Magic Made, we're talking about the pressure to fit in, follow trends, please clients, and become the version of ourselves we think everyone else wants.We've both experienced seasons of shrinking ourselves, second-guessing our creativity, and worrying about what other people might think. But the more we tried to fit in, the further we drifted from the work we were actually meant to create.This conversation is about finding your authentic voice, trusting your style, letting go of comparison, and building the confidence to choose yourself again and again.✨ In this episode:Why people pleasing keeps creatives stuckThe danger of comparisonFinding your authentic styleWhy your dream clients want the real youHow affirmations quiet self-doubtBuilding confidence through actionChoosing yourself without guiltIf this episode resonates, tell us in the comments:

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your calling isn't a lack of ability—but waiting until you feel ready? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we're talking about the power of pre-deciding that you'll continue to show up, use your God-given gifts, and stay faithful—even when fear, insecurity, or excuses try to hold you back. Using 2 Timothy 1:6-7, we unpack Paul's encouragement to Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift God had placed within him and explore why Timothy was able to receive that correction. Because he had a mentor. He had accountability. He had someone who loved him enough to speak to his fears and call him up, not out. In this episode, you'll learn: What it means to "fan into flame" your spiritual gifts. Why you can't trust your feelings to determine your faithfulness. The importance of discipleship and accountability in your spiritual growth. How to pre-decide to show up before excuses have a chance to win. Why God has given you a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline—not fear. If you've been shrinking back, doubting yourself, or waiting until you feel more confident, this episode is the reminder you need: Your calling doesn't pause because your feelings fluctuate. It's time to fan the flame, silence the excuses, and become the woman God created you to be.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: Surviving the Underground: A Tale of Fear and Bravery Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2026-07-17-07-38-20-hi Story Transcript:Hi: गर्मी के दिनों में सबकुछ धीरे-धीरे थमता जाता है, लेकिन आरव और नेहा के लिए यह दिन काफी चुनौतीपूर्ण साबित होने वाला था।En: During the summer days, everything seems to slowly come to a standstill, but for Aarav and Neha, this day was going to prove quite challenging.Hi: वे दोनों एक भूमिगत बंकर में थे, जहां आरव एक नई सुरक्षा संरचना की जांच करने आया था और नेहा अपनी मेडिकल फील्ड स्टडी कर रही थी।En: Both were in an underground bunker, where Aarav had come to inspect a new security structure, and Neha was conducting her field study in the medical field.Hi: आरव ने हफ्तों मेहनत कर इस बंकर को तैयार किया था, लेकिन उसे नहीं पता था कि यह उसके लिए आज एक बंद पिंजरे जैसा महसूस होने वाला है।En: Aarav had worked hard for weeks to prepare this bunker, but he didn't know it was going to feel like a closed cage for him today.Hi: अचानक, एक जोरदार धमाके से बंकर की छत का एक हिस्सा ढह गया और धूल का गुब्बार चारों ओर फैल गया।En: Suddenly, a loud explosion caused a part of the bunker's ceiling to collapse, and a cloud of dust spread all around.Hi: आरव के पैर पर मलबा गिरा, और उसे तेज दर्द महसूस हुआ।En: Debris fell on Aarav's leg, and he felt sharp pain.Hi: नेहा ने जल्दी से स्थिति संभाली।En: Neha quickly took control of the situation.Hi: उसके पास सीमित दवाएं और उपकरण थे, लेकिन वह जानती थी कि समय के साथ लड़ना जरूरी है।En: She had limited medicines and equipment, but she knew that fighting with time was crucial.Hi: "आरव, तुम ठीक हो?En: "Aarav, are you okay?"Hi: " नेहा ने चिंता में पूछा।En: asked Neha with concern.Hi: आरव ने जोर से सांस लेते हुए कहा, "पैर में बहुत दर्द हो रहा है।En: Taking a deep breath, Aarav said, "My leg is in a lot of pain.Hi: लगता है कि मेरी टांग टूट गई है।En: I think I've broken my leg."Hi: "नेहा जानती थी कि उसे आरव को जल्द से जल्द स्थिर करना होगा।En: Neha knew she had to stabilize Aarav as soon as possible.Hi: उसने अपने साधारण मेडिकल किट से पट्टियाँ निकालीं और आरव की टांग को स्थिर करने के लिए एक अस्थायी पट्टी तैयार की।En: She took out bandages from her simple medical kit and prepared a temporary splint to stabilize Aarav's leg.Hi: वह आसानी से डरी नहीं थी, लेकिन उसके पास मेडिकल सप्लाई बहुत कम थीं।En: She wasn't easily scared, but her medical supplies were very limited.Hi: आरव की स्थिति गंभीर थी, लेकिन उससे ज्यादा चिंताजनक बात यह थी कि बाहर निकलने का रास्ता बंद हो गया था।En: Aarav's situation was serious, but even more worrisome was the fact that the way out was blocked.Hi: उसके मन में उसके छुपे हुए क्लॉस्ट्रोफोबिया ने फिर से जन्म ले लिया।En: His hidden claustrophobia resurfaced.Hi: गहरी सांसें लेते हुए, उसने खुद को शांत करने की कोशिश की।En: Taking deep breaths, he tried to calm himself.Hi: "हमें सख्त योजना बनानी होगी ताकि हम बाहर निकल सकें।En: "We need to make a strict plan so we can get out.Hi: पहले तुम्हें आराम करना चाहिए," नेहा ने

Guest BioBecki Rupp is a certified Personal Trainer and Adventure Travel Coach, and the founder of Trailblazer Wellness. Through her coaching, Becki helps travelers build the strength, stamina, and confidence they need to take on meaningful adventures without feeling overwhelmed by the physical or mental preparation. Her work is especially valuable for people preparing for big hikes, cycling trips, Camino-style journeys, Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, and other active travel experiences that stretch the edge of their comfort zone.Becki brings together personal training, coaching, and her own extensive adventure travel background. She has summited Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, completed the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, and taken on numerous multi-day hiking and cycling trips around the world. Over the past several years, she has supported more than 100 clients preparing for adventures in 27 countries, helping them move from uncertainty to readiness so they can enjoy the journey before the journey — and the trip itself.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Becki Rupp, founder of Trailblazer Wellness, about helping travelers prepare for the adventures they have dreamed about for years. Becki explains how adventure travel coaching goes beyond simply handing someone a workout plan. For many travelers, especially those joining group trips or taking on a physically demanding itinerary, the real work involves building confidence, managing fears, staying accountable, and learning how to enjoy the experience rather than worry about holding others back.Becki shares how her own path combined a lifelong curiosity about the world, a love of movement, and years of experience in fitness, coaching, and communications. From childhood memories of watching her grandparents' travel slideshows to eventually hiking iconic routes like Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, and the Camino, Becki's story reveals how travel, preparation, and personal growth can become deeply connected.Jason and Becki also explore the emotional side of adventure travel: why people worry about being last in the group, how partners and friends may not always know how to support a big travel dream, and why having someone in your corner can make the difference between merely completing a trip and truly experiencing it. Becki's approach helps travelers prepare their bodies while also reconnecting with the deeper reason they said yes to the adventure in the first place.

n this episode, we dive deeply into the mystery of the Incarnation and how we are meant to relate to Christ. Drawing from a profound quote by St. Augustine, we explore how Christ made the things we fear losing entirely worthless by depriving Himself of them. We examine what it truly means to be poor in spirit, how to navigate worldly dignities, and the Christian response to injustice. Ultimately, echoing the wisdom of St. John of the Cross, we are called to radical detachment—assigning true worth only to God and aligning our lives perfectly with His divine will.Key Topics Discussed:The mystery of the Incarnation and God's perfect wisdom.St. Augustine's contrast between worldly desires and Christ's choices.Understanding true poverty of spirit in our daily duties.Responding to injustices as a Christian witness.St. John of the Cross and the call to detach from worthless things.The Midnight Compass: Stop treating the Dark Night like a mood disorder.

How do you conquer hidden fears? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that the first step is to identify what is causing fear in your heart. Is your fear based on Truth, or is it rooted in an irrational belief, habit, or assumption? Fear can be a warning sign, but it can also mislead us. Many of the things we fear never happen, and for some people, worry becomes a pattern with no solid foundation. That is why believers must bring fear before the Lord and ask Him to reveal what is true. Dr. Youssef reminds us that the second step is prayer. There is no secret formula for effective prayer—simply talk to God about what frightens you. Tell Him when you feel afraid, hurt, frustrated, or angry. Ask Him to show you whether your fear is valid and to reveal His plan for overcoming it. James reminds us that we often do not have because we do not ask God. As hidden fears come to light, the Lord will strengthen your faith, expose what is false, and help you walk forward with courage. Like the apostles, we can ask Him to increase our faith—and trust that He will help us overcome fear. Let us pray.  Father God, I pray that You would shine Your light on my situation, revealing the Truth so that I will not be afraid. Help me to be able to identify what is causing my fear and to come to You when I am feeling afraid. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.   The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

Living in Alignment: How to Trust Yourself When Change Feels UncomfortableLiving in alignment isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning to trust the quiet inner knowing that calls you toward a new way of being, even when change feels uncomfortable.In this episode, I share a personal example of what it means to live Step 7 of the Recover Your Soul process: aligning your thoughts, words, and actions with the person you are becoming instead of the fears, expectations, and old patterns you've carried for so long.As we heal, there comes a time when we realize that the old ways of doing things no longer fit who we are becoming. Making a different choice can bring up fear, uncertainty, and even the worry of disappointing others. But healing invites us to trust ourselves, listen to our inner guidance, and take the next right step—even when it feels uncomfortable.I also share an exciting new chapter for the Recover Your Soul podcasts.Beginning now, you'll receive a new Recover Your Soul episode every Monday, alternating between the main Recover Your Soul Podcast and the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast. This new rhythm will allow me to be even more present with our community through coaching, the 9-Step Self Study Collective, retreats, and the many ways we continue to walk this healing journey together.The next Main Recover Your Soul Podcast will be released on July 20.In the meantime, I hope you'll lean on the incredible library we've created together. Between the two podcasts, there are nearly 600 episodes covering everything from codependency, boundaries, anxiety, depression, adult children, addiction, forgiveness, people pleasing, grief, and spiritual awakening. Use the search bar on your favorite podcast app or at recoveryoursoul.net and let the library meet you exactly where you are. My hope is that you'll always find an episode that reminds you that you're not alone.If you'd like to continue the journey between Main Podcast episodes, the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast is released every other Monday and includes deeper conversations, guided meditations, spiritual book studies, reflections on Al-Anon through the lens of the Recover Your Soul process, inspiring interviews, and our new Recover Your Soul Practices series—grounded spiritual tools and practices for everyday life.You can listen to the Bonus Podcast every other Monday: ✨ On Apple Podcasts with a subscription for $4.99/month ✨ On Patreon as a Free Member, where new episodes are available for two weeks, or as a supporting member at $5, $15, or $25/month, with full access to the complete Bonus Podcast library and additional community offerings.Thank you for being part of this community. Whether you've been listening since 2020 or you've just found the podcast, I am so grateful you're here. Thank you for trusting me to walk beside you. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to share this journey with you as we continue remembering our wholeness, choosing love over fear, and creating lives of greater peace, freedom, and joy.Together, we can do the work that will Recover Your Soul.Rev Rachel

Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity? In episode three of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine as she opens John 5 and unpacks the story of the man who sat beside the Pool of Bethesda waiting for his breakthrough. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Christine challenges us to consider the ways we've become comfortable sitting in disappointment, bitterness, fear, shame, or unbelief—and reminds us that Jesus is still asking, "Do you want to be healed?" Healing isn't just about leaving something behind; it's about stepping into the purpose God has prepared for us. Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available. If you're ready to stop being defined by your issue and start living from your identity as a daughter of God, this episode is for you. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
